The United States of Usuaria is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 517 million Usuarians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.4%.

The powerhouse Usuarian economy, worth 40.3 trillion Coronas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 77,974 Coronas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 249,935 per year while the poor average 18,454, a ratio of 13.5 to 1.

A paperwork error has naval privateers being directed to attack land-locked nations, police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, and the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. Usuaria's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Usuaria is ranked 167,677^th in the world and 2,185^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 590.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
